I know that Marble Hornets had some controversy a couple years ago because of some behind the scenes drama, but I still thought that people here would still be mildly curious.

This looks interesting but I do wonder if Joseph and Tim are cool with it.

Tim moreso is still likely to be pissed.

I think Troy actually had a FP account back in the day but he'd stopped posting and migrated to SA long before Marble Hornets was a thing.

I think Eckva is still happening, just very slowly.

More importantly this might be a second case of Troy mishandling money. For those not informed, this blog has a pretty good write-up of what went down: https://permortensen.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-a-minor-youtube-group/

To clarify on what I said, Troy held auctions selling props from Marble Hornets to fund the comic series. https://jtroyw.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-return.html

On a rough count from the auctions I could find he made nearly ~$5000 from them.

Personally I wouldn't back this, Marble Hornets was great and as a team, THAC made a really innovative and compelling story. Troy on his lonesome just hasn't been able to deliver the quality content I'd like to see from him.

If anyone's more informed than me and wants to chime in I'd appreciate it.

Yeah as much as MH was Troy's original idea it really was Joseph and Tim who brought it to live. I know Joseph and Tim also become co-writers as of S2 so who knows how much of the creative work was theirs?

If nothing else I think MH/THAC is a good example of why you don't try and go make a business with friends based off a youtube career.

THAC falling apart is 100% Troy’s fault and I wouldn’t touch anything he is involved in, dude thought he could just take all of his friends’ little money for himself and apologize later.

he is a moron

Also between being memed to hell and back and legit convincing crazies to murder, I don’t think you can do anything serious with Slenderman anymore that expected to make dish.

ECKVA was cool until troy got too cool to keep it updated

[Marzipas]

tribetwelve is still on the go surprisingly, gets very slow updates because the creator is at college but the effects/production value get better all the time still
